Abstract

A light emitting device includes a laser diode that emits a blue light, and a wavelength conversion part that absorbs a part of light emitted from the laser diode and converts a wavelength thereof. The wavelength conversion part includes a YAG-based single crystal phosphor. Irradiance of light emitted from the laser diode and irradiated on the wavelength conversion part is not less than 80 W/mm 2 .

Claims (30)

1. A light emitting device, comprising:

a laser diode that emits a blue light;

a wavelength conversion part that absorbs a part of light emitted from the laser diode and converts a wavelength thereof; and

a lens that condenses light emitted from the laser diode,

wherein the wavelength conversion part comprises a YAG-based single crystal phosphor,

wherein irradiance of light emitted from the laser diode and irradiated on the wavelength conversion part is not less than 80 W/mm 2 , and

wherein light condensed by the lens is irradiated on the wavelength conversion part.

2. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the wavelength conversion part comprises a single piece of the single crystal phosphor.

3. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the wavelength conversion part comprises a plurality of particles of the single crystal phosphor that are bound to each other by a binder.

4. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the wavelength conversion part is held by a heat dissipation member that comprises aluminum nitride, alumina, SiN, Cu or Al and dissipates heat generated from the wavelength conversion part.

5. A light emitting device, comprising:

a laser diode that emits a blue light;

a wavelength conversion part that absorbs a part of light emitted from the laser diode and converts a wavelength thereof; and

an optical waveguide that transmits light emitted from the laser diode,

wherein the wavelength conversion part comprises a YAG-based single crystal phosphor,

wherein irradiance of light emitted from the laser diode and irradiated on the wavelength conversion part is not less than 80 W/mm 2 , and

wherein light transmitted through the optical waveguide is irradiated on the wavelength conversion part.

6. The light emitting device according to claim 5 , wherein the wavelength conversion part comprises a single piece of the single crystal phosphor.

7. The light emitting device according to claim 5 , wherein the wavelength conversion part comprises a plurality of particles of the single crystal phosphor that are bound to each other by a binder.

8. The light emitting device according to claim 5 , wherein the wavelength conversion part is held by a heat dissipation member that comprises aluminum nitride, alumina, SiN, Cu or Al and dissipates heat generated from the wavelength conversion part.

9. A light emitting device, comprising:

a laser diode that emits a blue light; and

a wavelength conversion part that absorbs a part of light emitted from the laser diode and converts a wavelength thereof,

wherein the wavelength conversion part comprises a YAG-based single crystal phosphor,

wherein irradiance of light emitted from the laser diode and irradiated on the wavelength conversion part is not less than 80 W/mm 2 , and

wherein the single crystal phosphor has a composition represented by a compositional formula

(Y 1-a-b Lu a Ce b ) 3+c Al 5-c O 12 (0≤ a≤ 0.9994,0.0002≤ b≤ 0.0067,−0.016≤ c≤ 0.315).

10. The light emitting device according to claim 9 , wherein the wavelength conversion part comprises a single piece of the single crystal phosphor.

11. The light emitting device according to claim 9 , wherein the wavelength conversion part comprises a plurality of particles of the single crystal phosphor that are bound to each other by a binder.

12. The light emitting device according to claim 9 , wherein the wavelength conversion part is held by a heat dissipation member that comprises aluminum nitride, alumina, SiN, Cu or Al and dissipates heat generated from the wavelength conversion part.
